So…our scientists can predict a total eclipse to the second. To the exact latitudes & longitudes. We trust them so so much that people are traveling to the exact places the scientists tell us. Question: so why do so many ignore scientists’ predictions about climate change?!!

#UCRiverside’s Edward Schwieterman discusses the rationale in looking for the technosignatures of artificial greenhouse gases in the atmospheres of far-flung planets. Read more in Forbes ⬇️ forbes.com/sites/brucedor…

My first dissertation chapter is now out in JGR-Planets! Here we’re tackling the Eridania Basin system in the Mars southern highlands, which has generally been considered a site for long-lived hydrothermalism, but we find might have been more limited… doi.org/10.1029/2024JE…

Water-Limited Hydrothermalism and Volcanic Resurfacing of Eridania Basin, Mars. buff.ly/4d0ZHyr Study finds that Eridania's northern basin experienced a distinct, possibly longer‐lived aqueous alteration than the southern basins.
